14. Central Management Console

15. Perceptics’ Central Management Console can be integrated with existing dashboards to monitor performance trends, predict equipment failures before they are likely to occur, and maximize equipment performance and system availability

16. Perceptics Central Management Console • The Central Management Console (CMC) provides a dashboard that monitors the health status of every lane connected to the network and gives real-time information on each device within the lanes • Remotely deploys software, configurations, and firmware updates to all authorized devices • Provide alerts when issues are detected  

17. CMC Capabilities Real-time monitoring of all devices in the system: Read rate statistics Device error status Device information (model#, serial#, versions, configuration, etc.) Update audit logging (user, time, location, outcome) User authorization (user, maintenance, admin) controlled through Active Directory Device authentication Device grouping and access controlled through Active Directory Device history: versions (hardware, firmware, software, o/s, configuration), error status, reset/reboot

18. System Security

19. Security Improvements with Smart Devices The Perceptics Smart Imaging systems are designed with security in mind. • Each device is hardened using Department of Homeland Security Guidance • The web interface is restricted to HTTPS to protect transmitted information • The devices ensure that any access requiring authentication requires strong passwords • The devices have a minimal number of services and ports active • All communication between system components is encrypted and authenticated • The devices have secure logging for security events and send events to the CMC • The CMC ensures the device firmware and patches are maintained, and all updates are signed and transmitted through encrypted connections

20. Improved Security Functions with CMC The CMC will control all device software, configurations, and patch management. • The CMC manages all in lane-devices and OCR Servers and prevent unauthorized devices from being added to the system. • The CMC ensures each device is connected to a certified CMC and OCR server. • The in-lane, authorizeddevices connect to the CMC on start up and pull the latest signed software and configurations across an encrypted connection. • The CMC pushes the latest signed patches to all of its connected devices using an encrypted connection. • The CMC software resides in a secure LAN room on a computer hardened in compliance with Department of Homeland Security Guidance

21. Monitoring and Preventive Maintenance • Smart Imager and Smart Illuminator Functionality • Supports real-time status monitoring of key aspects of these vital components • Temperature measure indicates normal operation or possible failure of internal fans • Humidity sensors indicate possible failure of ingress protection seals • Ambient light sensor in imager automatically adjusts gain/illuminator intensity • Programmable light output control in illuminator can compensate for aging bulbs • A programmable lens in the imager verifies the lens settings • Trending of product lifecycle available to support scheduled maintenance activities and reduce non-scheduled downtime 2. Central Management Console (CMC) Software • Allows for constant real-time monitoring of the system health and status • Supports proactive maintenance activities via gathered statistics • Supports quick diagnostics to restore failed system to operation • Automatically pushes new software parameter updates and security patches to imagers and OCR servers • Automatically pushes software and parameters to replaced components (Auto-Config)
